[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# urpmi.addmedia texstar ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/mandrake/9.1/rpms with hdlist.cz medium "texstar" already exists [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# and, [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.rutgers.edu/pub/mandrake/Mandrake/9.1/contrib/RPMS with ../../i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz medium "contrib" already exists [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# So what next, I try to urpmi a new app and get told this or that needs updating, I try to update the easy site stuff and get told my urpmidb needs updating ??? I'm one confused person. John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
